Autumn
O Love we see our very Autumn now,
But in our fall we hold each season's prime.
​
My youth, manhood and age rest on your brow;
Engraved deep, your womanhood on mine.
​
My March, your April frosts, swift, foolish May,
Our June's richest laughter we hold in store,
For when our darker season comes; then say
Those words of candlelight once said before.
​
Then Love you are the window to my days
And I your glass to memory's green hour;
So I in you and you in I find ways
To slip the hand of Time's inquisitor.
​
Reflection then shall fill our wintertime
And faces. I in yours, and yours in mine.
Unknown
When evening falls, I look up and there you are.
I take your hand and we turn together to look at the road
we have travelled to reach this milestone.
It stretches behind us and it stretches ahead,
a long, winding road, whose every turning means
discovery, old hopes, new laughter and shared tears.
The adventure has hardly begun.
Love Me When I'm Old
Love me when I'm old and shocking
Peel off my elastic stockings
Swing me from the chandeliers
Let's be randy bad old dears
Push around my chromed Bath Chair
Let me tease your white chest hair
Scaring children, swapping dentures
Let us have some great adventures
Take me to the Dogs and Bingo
Teach me how to speak the lingo
Bone my eels and bring me tea
Show me how it's meant to be
Take me to your special places
Watching all the puzzled faces
You in shorts and socks and sandals
Me with warts and huge love handles
As the need for love enthrals
Wrestle with my damp proof smalls
Make me laugh without constraint
Buy me chocolate body paint
Hold me safe throughout the night
When my hair has turned to white
Believe me when I say it's true
I've waited all my life for you
